With the government stepping in and stepping things up, it is becoming much more vital to retrofit your truck fleet. With NO2 being released into the air as people drive, there has been a big push to retrofit buses and trucks in order to lower diesel emissions. While this may seem standard, there are some key things to think about when you go to get this done. Here are several tips to keep in mind when you want to retrofit.
Verified Technology
Be Prepared
Reductions
Take your vehicle to be serviced and 'winterized.' If you operate a fleet, you can work with fleet management services to help you get your fleet ready. Know what equipment and emergency supplies you need to have in each vehicle so that you have chains for tires or an ice scraper when needed. Preparation is always the first and best way to make sure that you are ready for winter driving.
But, because it is so dark, it is extremely important to use your lights effectively so that you can see and be seen by those around you.
When you are looking at getting on a retrofit program, it is important to get the latest and greatest. Too many people are going with cheaper and that doesn't give you the quality that you need or the efficiency either. These products will not be able to pay for themselves if they don't last. It is important to understand that buying the latest technology is well worth the initial investment as it can save you money on fuel sometimes or it can make your car5 much more efficient in the end.
Why retrofit?
Be Cautious and Alert
The fact is that there is a number of ways to save not only money but the environment as well. While you are saving money, you may find that you can pick up on free money with tax credits and other government incentives.
Giving yourself the space you need on the road allows you the time to slow down carefully if it is required. If you find yourself slipping or sliding don't panic. Stay calm and react as you need to, working to stay relaxed and alert. No matter the conditions, following these rules will help you avoid accidents and stay safe on the road during bad weather, and remember, sometimes the best option is to stay off the road.

About the Author:
When the California Air Resource Board's diesel emissions regulations first came out, Michael Schwartz, now President of FleetServ, started getting calls from panicked Fleet Managers looking for straight-forward information and compliance assistance. While FleetServ (formerly known as ACT Compliance) was originally formed to meet this need, over time it has evolved into much more.
